Using data collected by three of NASA's high-tech aerosol monitoring satellites, Israeli scientists have tracked pollution trends for 189 megacities, including New York City, Tokyo and Mumbai. Called MODIS-Terra, MODIS-Aqua, and MISR, the satellites were launched by NASA from 2000 through 2002. Their combined data constitute an accurate survey of aerosol concentrations a few hundred metres above the Earth. Fifty-eight of these megacities have populations ...Sunday, 2 December 2012
